The Chronicles Of Nadia

Tough cookie Nadia let her resilience slip temporarily during an emotional chat with Big Brother about the way she's feeling.

The fiery brunette came over all weepy as she shared her thoughts on winning the game, living with the Jungle Cats and failing to find what she had half hoped to find in the House - love.

"I feel really drained, I've no energy levels whatsoever," she sighed as she described her day.

She also revealed that she's worried about tomorrow's nominations. "I think the third time is your time to go," she explained. "I've been up twice and I'm comparing myself to Ahmed [who went on his third time]."

"I need to snap out of these melancholic thoughts," she chastised herself.

On being reminded by Big Brother that she'd once said she hoped to find love in the House, the 27-year-old admitted there was some truth there. "Everyone needs to feel special," she mused. "And I've never been special to anyone, that's what frustrates me. No matter how self-sufficient you are, deep down..." she trailed off.

"I want [to meet someone] so much but maybe it's never going to happen," she fretted. "I thought it might be time for me, but maybe it's just me really, I intimidate a lot of people."

Big Brother then asked Nadia how she felt about having come so far in the House.

"A great feeling," Nadia vouched. "I want to take part in the full experience and you may not believe me but I don't visualise myself winning with the prize money or whatever."

She's feeling close to Michelle, Daniel and Shell at the moment, and even had some surprising words to say about the Jungle Cats.

"Victor's a great guy, fun and tells great stories but maybe I intimidate him or he just takes Jason's side," she pondered. "I'm sure Jason is a lovely guy but I don't think he'll ever respect me whatsoever."

"I need laughter in the House. I need naughtiness and mad people to keep me sane!" she chuckled through her tears.

With a final apology to anyone listening, and a thank you to Big Brother, Nadia dried her tears and was off.
